Nope, and not only that but their shipping rates to Hawaii are confiscatory. Newegg ships to here for twenty bucks and Fry's for sixteen. BB&B wants over sixty dollars.

I know for a fact that the good ole US Postal Service will send a flat rate package here priority mail for nine dollars.

Yes, $60 seems too expensive. I think they use FEDEX service, not USPS.
I just checked BB&B website. They have 2 stores in AK but no stores in HI so I hope they will open it soon

It will be nice if you could compare jetBook with Sony 505 when you get it

Why should there be a flame war. Kelly is welcome to express her opinions and the reviews posted above are book books not a comparison of eBook Readers. Enjoy your popcorn.

It's HERE! It's HERE!

The UPS tracker says it was delivered an hour and a half ago.

And here I am, stuck at work for another five hours.

For now I'll keep both, but if I had to give one up it would be the Sony.

No text search is the deal breaker for Sony; Big and ugly is the deal breaker for Kindle.

The jetBook has text search and fits in my trousers pocket.

I just noticed in the Calibre forum that it now supports the jetBook. I'll try it out tonight, but if that's the case we now have a jetBook library manager!

Hahaha! They also list it under the Games & Gadgets heading and for the Traveler.

Note to self: Look in "gifts for him" sections or else you'll end up with candles and frilly crap!
